OK, so, here goes the list of supplements I am taking and what they are supposed to be helping with. (I'll find out here in a few weeks if ANYTHING is helping!)
LOWERING LDL (The BAD kind!)
~Green tea
~Garlic
~Omega 3
~Red Wine Capsule (Doc wants me to drink the real stuff...sorry, doc!)
~Red Rice Capsule
~Cinnamon Capsule
~Psyllium
~Plant Sterols
~Flaxseed Capsule
RAISE HDL (The GOOD kind!)
~NO supplements are known to raise HDL. The only thing they suggest is to exercise!
LIVER HEALTH~
~Milk Thistle (It's also suppose to help repair the liver and promote new cell growth)
I could write a long explanation of why all of these apparently work, but, you'll just have to take my word for it! ;) I've done a LOT of research and what I have listed above is what I feel will help me the best for my condition.
Niacin is another great supplement, however, it can cause damage to the liver and raise enzymes and I'm already fighting that. I'm giving my liver a break for a few weeks. As I've said before, I take my supplements in the MIDDLE of my meal. It seems to help with the burping. It's not as bad for me if I take them with a little food in my tummy.
Hope you are all finding things that will work for you in my plan whether you're trying to lose weight, get fit, lower your cholesterol, or fix any other health issue. Eating better and exercising will fix a LOT of health issues!! Keep up the good work!! Keep sending those emails and inboxes for help on YOUR journey! :)
